Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable fault accurate locating instruments, in particular to a foldable detection sensor of a cable fault accurate locating instrument. Background Art

[0002] The cable fault locator is used for fast and accurate location of buried power cable insulation fault points and accurate detection of cable burial path and burial depth. As long as the sensor probe of the instrument is in contact with the faulty cable or the nearby cable, the fault distance and direction can be accurately displayed, and the fault location can be quickly and effortlessly determined. At the same time, the acoustic and electrical synchronous receiving and display technology is used to effectively overcome the difficulty of locating the point caused by the noise interference of the fixed-point site environment. In particular, the digital display of the fault distance saves the operator from analyzing and judging the complex waveform, and to a considerable extent replaces the rough distance measurement function of the flash tester. In the existing technology, because the cable fault is accurately located, the fault location can be accurately determined by the instrument. The detection sensor of the fixed-point instrument needs to be as close to the cable as possible when in use. For ease of use, the detection sensor is often equipped with an extension rod, and personnel can hold the long rod to move the position of the detection sensor at a long distance, making the movement of the detection sensor more labor-saving. However, the detection sensor with the extension rod added occupies a larger space, which is inconvenient to store. Even though some detection sensors can be folded, the storage of the detection sensors is relatively simple. However, when the foldable detection sensor is unfolded for use, in order to ensure the firmness of the unfolded detection sensor, a longer operation time is required, which is inconvenient to use.

A support plate 5 is provided at the lower end of the folding rod one 1, the upper and lower ends of the folding rod two 2 and the upper end of the folding rod three 3, and two adjacent support plates 5 are rotatably connected with a connecting column 6 through a rotating shaft 7. Through the relative rotation of the support plate 5 and the connecting column 6, the angle between the folding rod one 1, the folding rod two 2 and the folding rod three 3 is changed to realize the folding of the detection sensor;

[0026] The quick deployment mechanism 8 is respectively arranged inside the folding rod 1 and the folding rod 2. The quick deployment mechanism 8 includes a torsion spring 81, which is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 7. One end of the torsion spring 81 away from the center of the connecting column 6 is fixedly connected to the support plate 5, and the other end of the torsion spring 81 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the connecting column 6. When the detection sensor is in the folded state, the torsion spring 81 is in a torsion state. When the detection sensor leaves the storage space, the folding rod 2 2 and the folding rod 3 3 are quickly reset to the vertical state under the torsion force of the torsion spring 81. The quick deployment mechanism 8 also includes a plug-in column 1 82 and a plug-in column 2 83. The plug-in column 1 82 is slidably connected to the inside of the folding rod 1 1, and the plug-in column 2 83 is slidably connected to the inside of the folding rod 2 2. By moving the plug-in column 1 82 downward and inserting it into the inside of the folding rod 2 2, and the plug-in column 2 83 is moved downward and inserted into the inside of the folding rod 3 3, the angles between the folding rod 1 1, the folding rod 2 2 and the folding rod 3 3 are firmly limited, and the quick deployment mechanism 8 is realized.

The quick deployment mechanism 8 also includes a spring 86, which is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the plug post 83. The upper end of the spring 86 is connected to the upper end of the plug post 83.

When folding is required, it is convenient for the automatic resetting of the plug column 83. The outer arc surface of the plug column 82 is provided with a limiting slide groove 11, and the slider at the lower end of the folding rod 1 is vertically slidably connected with the limiting slide groove 11 to limit the rotation of the plug column 82. The outer arc surface fixing sleeve of the rotating ball head 85 is provided with an anti-slip rubber sleeve 12 to increase the friction force on the surface of the rotating ball head 85, which is convenient for people to grasp.

[0027] The working principle of the foldable detection sensor of the cable fault accurate locating instrument provided by the utility model is as follows: when the detection sensor needs to be stored, the folding rod 1, the folding rod 2 and the folding rod 3 are rotated respectively to realize the folding of the detection sensor. At this time, the torsion spring 81 is twisted to generate torque, which reduces the space occupied by the detection sensor and facilitates the storage of the detection sensor in the cable fault accurate locating instrument. When in use, it is only necessary to take out the detection sensor from the storage space, hold the folding rod 1, and under the torsion of the torsion spring 81, the folding rod 2 and the folding rod 3 3 are reset to a vertical state, and then the internal threaded cylinder 84 is rotated by rotating the ball head 85 to rotate the limit slide groove 11 and the folding rod 1 The slider at the end cooperates to limit the rotation of the plug post 82, and the threaded connection between the internal threaded tube 84 and the plug post 82 drives the plug post 82 to move downward. The plug post 82 passes through the yield hole in the middle of the connecting column 6 and is inserted into the folding rod 2 2, and a downward thrust is applied to the upper end of the plug post 2 83, pushing the plug post 2 83 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 86 and move downward, so that the lower end of the plug post 2 83 is inserted into the folding rod 3 3. Under the connection between the plug post 1 82 and the plug post 2 83, the angles between the folding rod 1 1, the folding rod 2 2 and the folding rod 3 3 are firmly restricted, so that the unfolding of the foldable detection sensor is faster and firmer, and then the electromagnetic sensor 9 and the acoustic vibration sensor 10 are used to detect the cable fault location.

[0028] It is worth noting that the electromagnetic sensor 9 and the acoustic wave vibration sensor 10 disclosed in the above embodiments can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The electromagnetic sensor 9 can use the NS-130A500 model electromagnetic wave sensor, and the acoustic wave vibration sensor 10 can use the US-100 model acoustic wave vibration sensor. The external control switch controls the operation of the electromagnetic sensor 9 and the acoustic wave vibration sensor 10 using the methods commonly used in the prior art.
